Tropicana Cookies Auto

Green_Zyphoria This is day 4, after germination in a paper towel. Keeping humidity high, using a tiny greenhouse. All good :)

Green_Zyphoria Day 10 - New Home, New Roots! Today was the day! My little Tropicana Cookies got an upgrade to an 8.5-liter pot. We went with a 50/50 mix of BioBizz Light-Mix and Plagron Euro Pebbles. She's now running the full BioTabs program: a BioTabs tablet, some MycoTrex, and her first big drink with Bactrex and a touch of OrgaTrex. Everything she needs for an explosive start! She's currently chilling under the Sanlight Stixx 50 at a nice and easy 40%. Let's grow!

Green_Zyphoria Week three of my grow diary is in the books. I started the week by topping my little Tropicana Cookies plant. She looked a bit stressed afterward, but she bounced back quickly. On day 19, I did some leaf tucking and gently bent the main stems down. This will help open up the canopy and allow more light to reach the lower growth. I've been battling the low humidity due to the weather outside. It can get pretty dry at times, but I've managed to keep the humidity around 50% most of the time. Happy growing, everyone!

Green_Zyphoria Week 4: Tropicana Cookies ​This has been a great week for the Tropicana Cookies. The plant is developing nicely, and I’ve been keeping up with the LST, adjusting the branches almost every day to maintain an even canopy. I also had to remove a few individual leaves that were blocking light, but the main defoliation is still a while away. ​For feeding, I’m still sticking to just plain water. The initial Biotabs are working perfectly, providing all the nutrients the plant needs for now. ​By the end of the week, I was excited to see the first clear signs of flowering. As a result, I've now adjusted the lights, setting the Sanlight Stixx to 60% power and keeping them at a distance of a little under 20 cm. Looking forward to watching it stretch and really start to bud in the coming weeks. Happy Growing!

Green_Zyphoria Week 5: The Buds Are Coming In! We've officially hit the halfway point, and it's amazing to see how much Tropicana Cookies has developed. She's really started to pack on the flowers this week, with the first signs of proper buds forming. I've continued to increase the light intensity, bumping it up to 80% this week, and she's loving it. I'll take it up to the full 100% starting in Week 6 to really push her growth. Mid-week, I gave her a nutrient boost with a mix of OrgaTrex, Bio PK 5-8, and Bactrex. Even with just one BioTab in the soil, it feels like she's right at the upper limit of her nutrient tolerance. The most exciting part right now is the smell. It's a very creamy aroma, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it evolves over the next few weeks. The plant is happy and healthy, so I'm very optimistic about the final result! Keeping my fingers crossed nothing bad happens.:)

Green_Zyphoria We've hit week 6 with the Tropicana Cookies, and she's looking absolutely fantastic! The flowers are developing nicely and bulking up. This week, I decided to take a step back from constant Low-Stress Training (LST) adjustments. Instead, I focused on some strategic defoliation, removing several fan leaves. The goal was to ensure maximum light penetration, and now practically every single bud site is getting direct light. The lamp is now running at 100% power to really push those flowers. I gave her only plain Tap water this week. The buds are starting to look quite compact, and the resin production is very promising. They're getting frostier every day! The aroma is also starting to become quite potent. Happy Growing!

Green_Zyphoria Week 7 - Overall, the Tropicana Cookies is looking great! ​This week, she'll continue to receive only plain water. I'm holding off on any additional feeding because she still seems to have plenty of nutrients stored up. ​I've noticed a few small spots on some leaves that actually suggest a slight nutrient surplus, so a water-only week is definitely the right call. ​She's already getting incredibly resinous and the smell is fantastic! The buds are very dense, and I'm actively working to maintain excellent air circulation to keep things healthy.
